Defense attorney Mitch Little questions whistleblower Ryan Vassar on the fourth day of suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxtons impeachment trial in the Senate Chamber at the Texas Capitol on Friday, Sept. 8, 2023, in Austin.Sign up for The Brief

Little on Tuesday filed a campaign treasurer appointment for House District 65, currently held by freshman Rep. Kronda Thimesch, R-Lewisville. The filing, made public Wednesday, allows him to start raising money for the office. Asked for comment on the campaign treasurer filing, Little poked fun at a Texas Tribune reporter for drawing attention to it.

She added that she talked with Little in August about their disagreement “on a single issue” — Paxton’s impeachment — and, noting that they both attend the same church, she asked to pray for him that day. Ultimately, she added, he “felt strongly enough” about it that he stepped down as her campaign treasurer to run against her.

Little’s tenacious and sometimes aggressive approach made him a memorable figure from the impeachment trial, which centered on claims by former top deputies in Paxton’s office that he abused his power to help a friend and donor, Nate Paul. Little led the questioning of one witness, whistleblower Ryan Vassar, who said the deputies “took no evidence” to the FBI when they reported Paxton in 2020.
